September 30 Astorga New Sticks


I had told Ruben, the man that’s been so helpful, that I had to buy poles. He said, one moment…

And he brought these out to me. He says they have been here for a year. They seem to be ok. I can’t find a brand, but they have shock absorbers.

As they say, the Camino provides…

And then there is the bag. The cheaper transport would not get the bag to me until Wednesday.

Here’s what Ruben did: He called Jacotrans to transport the bag to Sahagun. (The 5€ already attached to the bag pays for it) He has a friend in Sahagun who will carry it for free to León. Fingers crossed. He is verifying with the friend who is going to León anyway. Jacotrans will transport from León to where I’m staying tomorrow night. 10€. Sure hope this works out.

I’ve also borrowed charging equipment from the hotel. Another well-appreciated service.

Heading out to the farmacia for tape.
